Here is a definition from the Oxford dictionary
NOUN
mass noun- A quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture)‘why not follow the Danish example and bring more hygge into your daily life?’as modifier ‘count on candlelight —almost a requirement for that special hygge experience’
Origin
Danish, from Norwegian.
Pronunciation
hygge
/หhสษกษ/I started by coating the page roughly with gesso then, using parts of a TH doily stencil, I used clear gloss gel. Once it was dry I scribbled on some Distress crayons and blended them with a wet finger.
I found the mug image a while ago and it was on my desk and at the same time I saw it I also spied a little piece of remaining book paper from where I had been preparing another page.
I don't allow myself a treat like this very often as I have to watch my sugar levels but when I saw these words (from hubby's old Tales of King Arthur book) I felt they were very serendipitous!

"cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being" What a perfect illustration of that concept! And now I'm headed to the kitchen to whip a comforting warm beverage :) You've inspired me to coziness.

ReplyDeleteI am loving this word. Warm fuzzing feelings nestled up under a snuggly quilt with a fire blazing in the fireplace and reading a good book. It is very brrrrrr here in New Hampshire USA... hugs for now from your newest follower.
